Friday
I can't believe its Friday again already! Springtime has a way of making the days really start to slip by quickly when you have foals on the ground and mares to get bred back. We still only have our three little ones, the next mare in line was actually due yesterday but is not really giving us much indication of being ready to foal. The new foals have all had the chance to wear a halter and start to get used to people leading them as of today. Our research work is piling up (to bring you the best new up to date products!) and we have a quarter horse breeding operation to run on top of the research projects, so there is no shortage of work to do here at the farm.

We are getting into the thick of it now, there are eight foals on the ground for us. We have two more mares that are due in the first part of April, so we might get a short break of checking mares all night! All are doing quite well so far, and they...

And Then There Were Three
Phone calls in the middle of the night can be unnerving to some, but this time of year for breeding and foaling operations it is just part of life- and most of the time it means new life. Margaret checked in on our two mares, Snakey and Patty last night...
